Notes: There was just the one that I saw, growing right near a hunk of rotting wood bearing some cup fungi (obs. 11485).

There had been a thunderstorm at around 4:30 PM on the twentieth, with quite a hard rain. Total rainfall where I live was minor, but in Pembroke it exceeded half a centimeter according to official (Environment Canada) records.

So it may not be that surprising that I found at least ten distinct species of mushroom within a region of only a few square meters in one of the damper parts of those woods when I went there the next day. Besides this earth tongue and the cup fungi:

Close by were at least four agaric species (obs. 11480, 11481, 11482, and 11483); not much farther away was a bolete (obs. 11479).

On a fairly close by log was a pink mushroom (obs. 11478) and on another were several small brown cortinarii with yellow gills (obs. 11476), and close by these there were some scattered yellow mushrooms (obs. 11467).

There were more agarics nearby that I ignored, so the total species count was probably closer to 15 than 10.
